It is a multiphasic report that includes a progress report, work plan, and an annual <br />meeting of the Commission with at least the Chairs of all Advisory Boards. This meeting occurs in February of each <br />year. Also during the year, when ASAB is on the Commissioners’ agenda, ASAB members are encouraged to attend <br />the monthly meeting. Although no comment may be requested, particularly on consent agenda items, the <br />Commissioners are really engaged with the local advisory boards. When petitions arise, Bob Marotto submits items <br />to the County Manager’s staff. County Manager Hammersley informs the Commission of the petition. <br /> <br />Animal Services Advisory Board: <br />(A) Approval of 2017 meeting schedule (attached).

Applications will be due around the end of January and must meet criteria up to $5000. They <br />anticipate a quick turnover from submission to approval to installation by the end of June. The art may be <br />sculptural and occupy a space approximately 5’x5’ and just to the left og the front entrance. The project <br />award and approval will require a panel: three people nominated from the Orange County Arts Commission; <br />an OCAS staff person; and a member of ASAB. Molly Mullin volunteered for the art panel.
